mentioned how to scold people in the newspaper, but Li Daoguang talked endlessly, laughing and talking with Huo Yaowen all afternoon.

In 1959, Jin Yong resigned from the position of deputy editor-in-chief of the New Evening News, and when he ran Ming Pao, he wrote "The Condor Heroes" in the newspaper, and wrote that when Xiaolongnu was humiliated, all the people in Hong Kong were scolding him. Especially at that time, the New Evening News scolded the most fiercely, and I was dedicated to helping people polish and scold Jin Yong's article.

Li Daoguang remembered that in the early years, he helped people polish manuscripts and scolded Jin Yong, and he was the most proud, he worked in the New Evening News for more than ten years, and in addition to reviewing manuscripts, most of the time was helping writers polish manuscripts, and among them, editing and scolding articles was the most.

In the industry, he also won the title of "article editor".

Huo Yaowen doesn't know much about this kind of thing, and it is difficult to find these materials even in later generations, but listening to Li Daoguang's explanation at this time is suddenly interesting.

It is no wonder that later generations said on the Internet that Jin Yong was scolded miserably when he wrote the Condor, and many readers brought feces to Ming Pao to ask Jin Yong to rewrite it.

Li Daoguang said: "Don't look at how badly Jin Yong was scolded at that time, but look at it now, there is another writer who has his majesty, writes martial arts novels like no other, and running a newspaper has now become the top three in Hong Kong in terms of sales, so it is normal for Huo Sheng to want to be famous and be scolded, and the more fierce the scolding, the more it can drive your fame." ”

"I know. Huo Yaowen chuckled and nodded.

"Jingle Bell"

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Li Daoguang picked up the phone casually and said, "Is there anything wrong with President Ma? Oh, I know this, and I'm already dealing with it." President Ma, who is not in trouble, doesn't need you to do it. Okay, Huo Sheng is here, okay, I'll tell him. Okay, goodbye President Ma. ”

Putting down the phone, Li Daoguang glanced up at Huo Yaowen and said, "Huo Sheng, President Ma knows that you are here with me, and invites you to go to the Rechi for a drink at night." ”

Going to Retiro for a drink?

Huo Yaowen was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded and responded: "Okay." ”

Li Daoguang saw that Huo Yaowen agreed, and he didn't bother to speak, glanced at his watch, and saw that it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, so he stood up and said, "It's almost this o'clock, Huo Sheng, let's go now." ”

"Now, it's too early. ”

"No, time is right. ”

......

Retiro Garden Nightclub is located in North Point, Hong Kong Island, so it is also known as North Point Ballroom Nightclub, before 1948, it was called "Retiro Air Force Club", integrating swimming pools, sea baths, ballrooms, bars and restaurants.

Just like Paramount in Shanghai in the thirties, it has always been a favorite of wealthy businessmen, celebrities, high-ranking officials and generals to play in heaven and earth.

At that time, although there were not many nightclubs in Hong Kong, there were several large nightclubs, just like Paramount in Wan Chai, Kowloon, which was established by Shanghai Youth Gang boss Du Yuesheng after coming to Hong Kong, but after the end of World War II, the situation in Hong Kong was unpredictable, and the food crisis was becoming more and more serious。

The most important opportunity for the Retiro Garden Nightclub to stand out among other nightclubs and become an instant hit in Hong Kong was in 1947, shortly after the end of the Second World War. At that time, in order to divert the torture and devastation of the war years, the British government in Hong Kong, together with the local gentry, held a charity "Miss Hong Kong" contest, and the location was in the Retiro nightclub, which was still known as the "Air Force Club" at that time.

At that time, less than a year after the end of the World War, the "burial team" in Guangzhou was collecting the bodies of countless starving people on the road every day, and Hong Kong's grain storage was in a serious crisis.

But in the end, the "Miss Hong Kong" beauty pageant was held on June 23 in Retiro as scheduled.

In fact, the so-called "campaign" was just a simple swimsuit show. On the sidelines of the "International Charity Swimming Competition", several young girls wore one-piece swimsuits and circled the field to score Chinese and Western judges.

This swimsuit pageant brought an untimely scenery to the dreary Hong Kong society.

In 1947, when the fashion was still conservative, the bare shoulders, snow-white thighs, and the chest line outlined by the tights......

It may not be a big deal to watch it now, but for a while, the level of excitement is no less than watching an A-movie on the spot.

Although many ordinary people in Hong Kong were struggling to eat their stomachs at that time, the pageant still attracted more than 3,000 people to watch.

In the face of the "enthusiasm" of the citizens, the "Sing Tao Daily" of the year commented: "With the advent of peace, people need to find some fun, relaxed, or romantic atmosphere to spice up the nerves that have been tense for several years of war." ”

It's just that the moment the audience sees the true face of the beauty, the romance in their hearts is directly disillusioned.

At that time, the competition system standards of the beauty pageant were much more relaxed than the later Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, and only required the beauty to be 16 years old ~ 30 years old and be able to find a swimsuit to wear.

However, because it was the first time it was held, there were few contestants, and among the only 11 people, many of them were still dance hall ladies and dust women.

At that time, there was naturally no shortage of beautiful people among the dancehall ladies and dusty women, but how could those Oiran top cards be seen in this kind of beauty pageant competition?

So among the 11 people who participated in the beauty pageant, almost all of them were second-rate and third-rate goods, and after wearing swimsuits, they all had loose lines, fat but unhealthy figures, and yellowed faces.

It is in response to the sentence "There are no fish in the sea, and the shrimp is big". A female beauty with an extremely ordinary appearance and a slightly not fat figure became the first Hong Kong sister champion in Hong Kong history, not only crowned by the Governor's wife herself, but also received a Sima brand gold watch worth thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

This beauty became famous overnight, stepped into the Hong Kong film industry, and starred in many films, and became the first heroine of Hong Kong's first remake of Wong Fei Hung.

In the following years, the "Miss Hong Kong" contest was still held every year, and it was in 1948 that the "Retiro Air Force Club" was officially renamed "Retiro Garden Nightclub", and its owner was "Li Jufa", known as Hong Kong Du Yuesheng.

......

At this time, Li Daoguang drove Huo Yaowen to the Kowloon City Ferry Pier, got on the ferry, and went straight to the North Point Pier on Hong Kong Island.

When I arrived at the door of the Retiro nightclub, it was already half past six in the evening.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Huo Yaowen understood why Li Daoguang set off so early, and it turned out that he had calculated the time to arrive.

Standing at the door, looking at the signboard of the Retiro Garden Nightclub, Huo Yaowen couldn't help but sigh that he actually had the opportunity to come to this place to have a fun.

When writing the online drama before, Huo Yaowen found some information about this nightclub in the information, but there is very little about it, and he doesn't know a lot, except for some introductions, he hasn't seen a single image.

Standing at the door at this time, I found that this is not so much a nightclub, not a place similar to those high-end clubs in later generations, and there are no very tacky doors and colorful signboards like other nightclubs.

Li Daoguang, who had parked the car, walked over and patted Huo Yaowen on the shoulder and said, "Huo Sheng, the car is parked, let's go in." ”

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen walked straight and followed.

Although Huo Yaowen has never been to Retiro in his life, the guys who worked with Netcom in his previous life have also been to play in the heavens and earth in Kyoto, and the Prince Hotel in Dongguan, this kind of place has long been accustomed to it.
